Offering an inviting, cosy shelter and escape from the busyness of the surrounding shopping mall, Fredde’s Food & Fire is always a great place to stop by. Conveniently located on the main floor of Mall of Tripla, the biggest shopping centre in the Nordics, the restaurant offers a dynamic yet comfortable atmosphere.

Visionary Design Partners Helsinki filled Fredde’s Food & Fire’s décor with vibrant colours, fabrics, furniture, and vintage furnishings to ensure that the space remained warm, intriguing, and welcoming throughout the day and into the night for all customers. Among several eye-catching decorative details that can be found in the restaurant, one of Visionary Design Partners’ key features is the industrial style bar with a striking back wall which is over 4 metres tall. The variety of lighting pieces encompasses the dynamic design style of the space; the fixtures include a wide selection of distinctive design from hand forged aluminium pendants to crystal chandeliers.

The restaurant space itself is both large and high, but Visionary Design Partners were able to divide the space so that it offers different and unique decorative focal points and smaller, distinctive but linked environments. This provides a soothing atmosphere to an otherwise busy environment, and most importantly keeps every space feeling cosy and comfortable for large or intimate gatherings. As the space is designed as a calm escape from it’s surroundings, Visionary Design Partners made sure that there were seating options for all customers, with a seated wall area for customers to just enjoy drinks or dine by the counter. Similar seating is offered around one of the statement pillars within the space.
